Thermostat Selectionand LocationIn general, both one- and two-pipethermostats have a gain of 2.5 psi perdegree Fahrenheit, unless specialthermostats are used that provide adifferent gain. The major differencebetween them is that a one-pipethermostat is considered a low-capacity thermostat and a two-pipethermostat is considered a high-capacity thermostat.When selecting between one-pipe andtwo-pipe thermostats consider thefollowing:

Use one-pipe thermostat when:

� tubing runs are less than 50 feet fromthermostat to controller.

� a single thermostat will control nomore than three controllers.

� slower response is desired from thethermostat.

Use two-pipe thermostat when:

� tubing runs exceed 50 feet fromthermostat to controller.

� a single thermostat will control four ormore controllers.

� high capacity air is required due torestrictions in the air line.

Thermostat Piping

The two-pipe thermostat (Figure 1)includes a restrictor (internally). Attachsupply air line and output pressure(branch) line to the thermostat.The one-pipe thermostat (Figure 2)requires an external restrictor tee.Connect main air supply to restrictedleg of restrictor tee. Connect branch linefrom restrictor tee to the thermostat.

Operation

Pneumatic thermostats modulateoutput air pressure in response to roomair temperature. Pneumatic thermo-stats fall into two categories: direct-acting or reverse-acting. This sectiondescribes how thermostat outputpressure responds to changes in roomtemperature.Figure 3 graphically illustrates therelationship between roomtemperature and output pressure of adirect-acting thermostat. The graph inFigure 3 shows that as the roomtemperature increases, so does theoutput pressure of the thermostat.

Figure 4 illustrates the pressure/temperature characteristics for areverse-acting thermostat. As roomtemperature increases, the thermostatoutput pressure decreases.

A thermostat in proper working orderwill be able to output a pressureranging from approximately .5 psi tosupply air pressure depending ondistance from indicated setpoint.

Installation and OperationThe reversing relay is a proportional,non-bleeding device for use in pneu-matic control systems where a propor-tional signal from a controlling devicemust be reversed (see Figure 5). Themost common use of the reversingrelay is to change the action of apneumatic thermostat.Figure 5–Pneumatic Reversing RelayTrane Part No. RLY-755

Reversing Relay

Figure 6–Reversing Relay Connections

The reversing relay requires threepiping connections: main/supply air,input signal air, and output branch air(see Figure 6). The branch line pressuredecreases in direct proportion to anincrease in the input signal pressureand vice-versa. The input signal is alsoamplified, thereby minimizing anypneumatic line transmission lag(see Figure 7).Input pressure to the relay and outputpressure to the PR should always addup to a constant, which is usually setbetween 16 and 25 psi. For example,with a constant of 18, six-pound inputsignal will result in a 12 pound branchsignal. A bias adjustment screw isprovided to retard or advance the outsignal.

Reversing Relay

Calibration

By using the “bias” adjustment on therelay, the factory-set 8.0–9.0 “cross-over” can be changed. To recalibrate,the relay should be connected asillustrated in Figure 8.

Figure 8–Recalibrating Reversing Relay

If the new desired “cross-over”pressure is 11.0 psi, this must be appliedto port #3 by adjusting the pressureregulator. The “bias” adjustment is thenturned until 11.0 psi is obtained on theoutput gage. Turning the “bias” adjust-ment “CW” increases the output;“CCW” decreases it.This 11.0 psi “cross-over” would yieldthe following operational chart:

Installation

1. Attach bracket either vertically or horizontally to the illustration surface. Horizontalis preferred, vertical is acceptable, any other position is not acceptable (see Figure 9).

2. Insert controller into its bracket. Controller may be face up, face down, face left, orface right. The controller LO and HI stat delta P must be calibrated in the sameposition that it is mounted.

Use the following procedure to set-up the PVR:1. Select damper action (NO or NC). Loosen damper selection switch screw and align to either the NO or NC pointer with damper

pointer and tighten screw.2. Now determine the type of thermostat that will be used. If a direct-acting thermostat is used, the reset start pressure is typically

8 psi. If a reverse-acting thermostat is used, the reset start pressure is typically 3 psi (see Figure 11).

3. With an accurate gage (0-10 psi) connected to port “G”, regulate the thermostat pressure to port “T” to desired start point pressure.

4. Adjust reset start to indicate 0 psi on port “G” and continuing adjusting to indicate a pressure slightly higher than 0 psi, (i.e., 0.1 psi).

Model 3011—PneumaticVolume Regulator

Adjusting the Reset Span (3011)

The reset span is factory-set at 5 psi. This is the thermostat pressure difference from which the PVR delivers flow from minimumto maximum setpoints. This range is not normally changed unless a special control scheme is used where control operationmust be changed.To field adjust a different reset span, follow these steps:

1. Connect an accurate gage to port “G”.

2. Apply 20 psi to port “T”.

3. Adjust reset span to indicate the desired span on port “G” (see Figure 12).

4. LO-stat and HI-stat delta P must now be readjusted (see following calibration procedure)Figure 12–Adjusting Reset Span

1. Be sure the PVR is installed correctly and that all connections are hooked up to the proper ports. See Figure 9 for unit application.

2. Remove the caps on the tees which are connected to the lines to the flow sensor. Connect a 0–2" magnehelic gage to monitorflow sensor delta P. The higher-pressure port is further upstream on the air valve inlet.

3. Remove the thermostat line and connect a hand pump with a 0–20 psi gage to port “T”.

4. Tee a 0–20 psi gage in the line from port “B” on the volume regulator to the air valve actuator.

Constant Volume Dual-DuctCalibration (3011)This calibration procedure is used whena constant volume of air must bemaintained through a unit. On a dual-duct unit, a constant-volume dischargesensor is used to measure the airleaving the unit. The PVR controlling to aconstant-volume of air leaving the unituses the discharge sensor to maintainthe specified cfm.

This PVR does not require a thermostatconnected to the PVR.

The following procedure must be usedwhen calibrating a constant-volumedual-duct unit. See Figure 15 for atypical piping diagram.

1. Set t-stat to full heat.2. Set LO thermostat (maximum) to the

desired maximum flow on theheating deck.

3. Set t-stat to full cool.4. Set HI thermostat (minimum) to

the desired minimum flow on theheating deck.

5. Set LO thermostat adjustment knobon cooling deck (CV deck) to desiredconstant-volume.

6. Exercise the system to check flowsfor proper operation.

Thermostat Range: 3–8 psiHeating Valve = 5 psi rangeThermostat Range: 8–13 psiCooling Valve = 5 psi rangeApproximately 1000 cfm divided by 5 psi =200 cfm/1b*

*Due to the relationship between velocitypressure and cfm; for both the cooling andheating PVR, a linear relationship betweencfm and psi does not exist.

To obtain a unit minimum cfm of 400 cfm, theheating deck volume regulator must have itsthermostat range changed from 3–8 psi to4–9 psi. This is adjusted by changing the “resetstart” point from 3 psi to approximately 4 psi.

The cooling deck volume regulator must have itsthermostat range changed from 8–13 psi to7–12 psi. This is adjusted by changing the “resetstart” point from 8 psi to approximately 7 psi.

By overlapping the thermostat spring ranges, wewere able to have 0 cfm minimum settings onboth the heat and cool deck and still maintain therequired unit minimum cfm of 400 cfm.

The calibration of the PVR is the same as thenormal calibration procedures previouslydescribed in this manual.

Figure 17–Example

Variable-Air-Volume Dual-Duct Calibration (3011)

Figure 16 is a typical piping diagram ofa VAV dual-duct unit. The unit has athermostat piped to both pneumaticvolume regulators (PVR) which willoperate the heating deck from athermostat signal of 3–8 psi. The coolingdeck will operate from a thermostatsignal of 8–13 psi. With normalcalibration of the PVR, the unit will haveboth the heating and cooling deck atminimum with a thermostat signal of8 psi.

In order to have a unit minimum cfmand still have 0 cfm minimums on boththe heating and cooling deck, specialcalibration is required. The PVR has a“reset start” adjustment knob, whichallows the unit to be calibrated to aminimum cfm. This is achieved bycrossing over the thermostat ranges.Figure 17 illustrates this concept.
